Of The True Subject Of The Hermetic Art And Its Concealed Root (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161574913)

""Of The True Subject Of The Hermetic Art And Its Concealed Root"" by Mary Anne Atwood is a book that explores the esoteric teachings of the Hermetic tradition. The author delves into the hidden meanings behind the symbols and allegories used in Hermetic texts, revealing the true subject of the art to be the spiritual transformation of the individual. Atwood argues that the alchemical process is not just about transmuting base metals into gold, but rather about transforming the self into a higher state of consciousness. She also examines the root of the Hermetic tradition, tracing its origins back to ancient Egypt and exploring its influences on other mystical traditions. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the spiritual and philosophical aspects of alchemy and Hermeticism.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Suggestive Inquiry into the Hermetic Mystery with a Dissertation on the More Celebrated of the Alchemical Philosophers Being an Attempt Towards the Recovery of the Ancient Experiment of Nature, by Mary Anne Atwood.
